The Cup Runneth Over
‍
Ahhh, Merlot. The cup truly doth run over — a little top-off from last week’s flat lay. One glass of wine was never going to cut it. (Frankly, is it ever?)
‍
At CbC, we’re always on tap for a second round — because twice is always nice.
‍
And burgundy? I’m Lewis and Clark, charting a whole new world of color. But here’s the truth: for years, I shaded oxblood.
‍
“Too serious. Too stately. Not my vibe.”
‍
But this season?
‍
I’m painting the town red.
‍
And oxblood? She’s all I think about. She’s my whole personality now — and I want every fabric in my closet stained in her berry-drenched hue.
‍
Ferragamo Cowl-Neck Silk-Chiffon Midi Dress
‍This dress.
Has such a divine creature ever walked this earth? I think not.
Sleek and sheer in all the right places, she sashays into the ballroom like the belle that she is — fluttering, prancing, skimming.
The cowl neck? A soft murmur at the collarbone, alluring but never loud.
Catch her if you can — before she, like Cinderella, vanishes into the midnight mist.
‍
Khaite Everheart Cashmere Cardigan
‍If there’s ever been a knit that’s captured my heart, it’s Everheart.
Pared-down perfection, like only Khaite can (and can she ever).
Layer her with a silk camisole, or wear her bare if you dare.
She’s the soulmate you’ll come back to again and again.
And truly — doesn’t that make her worth her weight in gold?
‍
The Row Small Bindle Leather Bag
‍Bindle?
She’s the bag I’ve coveted in every lovely flavor The Row has served — caramel, chocolate, and now cherry?
Oh, how I want the cherry on top.
Small but mighty. Slouchy in all the right ways.
MK&A personified.
And who among us mere mortals doesn’t want that?
‍
Prada Re-Nylon Baseball Cap
‍She’s at the head of the class.
Could you find something similar for less? Sure.
But would it really be the same?
Case closed.
‍
Reformation Fern Satin Short
‍Fern? Umm, yes please.
Shorts for fall? Absolutely — especially drenched in wine.
Style them with velvet tights à la Wolford and prepare for compliments.
I could drink the whole look right now — she says, already adding to cart…
‍
Max Mara Teddy Coat
‍As if a polar bear and a glass of port sired a love child — and I’m here for it.
The coat that launched a thousand copycats (and coats).
I’ve lusted after her since my days as a stylist at Neiman Marcus.
One day soon… I’m coming for you, Teddy.
‍
&Daughter Fionn Cashmere Scarf
‍Rib-knit in Scotland? Yes, please.
At under $350, she’s almost a steal.
Loop her around your neck to elevate anything — even your Monday.
Feeling sassy? Knot her under your chin — she doubles as a headscarf.
‍
&Daughter Wicklow Wool T-Shirt
‍Because you can’t leave her sibling on the shelf.
And honestly, who wouldn’t choose Wicklow over a basic white tee?
‍
Birrot Lay3 Mini Skirt
‍She looks like Khaite — at a quarter of the price — and feels like leggings and looks like a runway walk through a Bordeaux vineyard.
She’s that girl. And then some.
‍
Jacques Marie Mage Jagger Sunglasses
‍See the world through rose-tinted lenses — literally.
#Goals.
‍
Reformation Melly Flat Mule
‍Dark cherry velvet. Every bit as luscious as it sounds.
Under $200? Ref, you’re calling my name.
And with the money you save on Melly, just think how much closer you are to scoring the moves like Jagger…
‍
So sip accordingly, fashion girlies.
This cup’s for you. 🍷
